About
David Peddie is an emerging researcher at the intersection of marine technology and ocean science, specializing in autonomous vehicle systems for oceanographic monitoring. His work focuses on deploying innovative unmanned surface and underwater platforms to revolutionize how scientists observe and measure marine ecosystems, particularly in challenging and remote environments. Peddie's most notable contributions center on integrating fisheries research echosounders into autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) to enable persistent, cost-effective acoustic monitoring of zooplankton and mid-trophic level organisms — work that traditionally required expensive, time-limited ship-based surveys. His 2019 research demonstrating ASVs for zooplankton monitoring in highly productive shelf areas has garnered 10 citations, highlighting its significance to the fisheries and marine ecology communities. His Arctic Ocean research, contributing 7 citations, showcases his involvement in the GLIDER project, a landmark initiative deploying multiple autonomous platforms — including Sea gliders, Sailbuoys, and Wave Gliders — to deliver flexible, innovative offshore monitoring solutions in one of Earth's most challenging environments. Through these contributions, Peddie is helping shape the future of persistent, autonomous ocean observation, offering transformative tools for understanding marine biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics at unprecedented spatial and temporal scales.
